Sun City in August

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

August is the last month of winter and the weather is mostly clear and dry, with temperatures slowly rising. The air is cool, which makes it ideal for outdoor activities and game drives. After the school vacations are over, the resort’s facilities are quieter, making it a peaceful place to relax. Pilanesberg’s wildlife is still mostly found around waterholes, and the dry grass makes it easy to see them.
